Wednesday marked the first of 15 spring practices for the Buffs. This year practices snuck up on us without all the talk of scandal. The Buffs open up practice with every position open up to competition. This included quarterback where senior to be, Joel Klatt, is not even assured a job.
The Buffs are returning a lot of experienced players this season. This includes a group of seniors that should be able to provide the Buffs with leadership that was lacking last season. Most of the defense returns intact from last season. Sadly, this means that the secondary that surrendered several big plays will be back on the field. Hopefully with a year under their belt they have learned how to cover.
On offense the biggest hole to fill is at running back. Lawerence Vickers figures to see plenty of action in the back field. Beyond that a trio of young runners will battle it out for carries. The Buffs are hoping for Blake Mackey to capatilize on his strong finish to 2004 and become the go to guy at wide receiver.
